Toy Story 3

On June 18th we met some of our good friends at the theater for the opening day of Toy Story 3. What an awesome movie! We all loved it and Molly and I both agreed that one of our favorite parts was "Spanish Buzz!"

Molly decided to wear a yellow bow in her braided ponytail so she'd look just like Jesse. Here are the two of them on the way to the movie:
Just realized we took these pictures while Danielle went to the concession stand! I have a feeling she would have hidden from the camera as usual though! :o)

2010 Swim Team Season


Molly had another fun and exciting swim team season this year. Since the meets were at 7:15am every Saturday in Houston's lovely summer heat and humidity, Paul and I took turns alternating weekends with one of us taking Molly and one of us watching Marshall (at home in the a/c). Molly had a blast again this year. She loves her swimming buddies and after she gets past her butterlflies before the first race, she always enjoys herself and has fun playing with her friends between events.

The team getting psyched up before the first event of the morning:
Molly and her little friend, MacyGetting ready for warm-ups
(I didn't order Molly's swimsuit in time, so she's the only one not matching her teammates)
Macy giving her a few pointersGoofing around with Tad between events...
Meet #5, I believe...
Molly and Claire waiting for the buzzerMolly, Claire and Macy - Relay Queens!

We're working on not letting your knees be the first thing to hit the water when you dive in! The result of lots of practice and a lot of good swimming:Yay Molly, we're so proud of you!
You are such an awesome little swimmer!!!

Last Day of Pre-K

Several weeks before the end of school Molly asked if she could wear Star Wars shirts to school on the last two days... She was so excited on the last day of school when, thanks to Cousin Carrie, she and Marshall wore matching shirts!

Molly was very sad to leave John Wesley for the last time... after I finally convinced her to get up off the floor, I told her she'd get to come back as often as she wanted since Marshall would be going to John Wesley next year... then she got excited and said, "Yeah, and maybe we'll come here on field trips during Kindergarten!"
